This sounds like a great idea, but I do wonder how it will change our behaviour. Will we walk down the street tapping different parts of our clothing as we access different wearable apps? And how will that affect our perception of body language?

Jane: “John! Are you listening to me?”

John: “Of course I am, Darling.”

Jane: “Then why are you tapping your pocket like that?”

John: “Tapping? Pocket? Oh, I, um, just had an itch…”

As a baby geek, I do love the idea of wearables but I don’t think I’m ready to incorporate this into my writing just yet. 🙂

I am the kind of person who always has to know why things are the way they are so my interests range from genetics and biology to politics and what makes people tick.
For fun I play online mmorpgs, read, listen to a music, dance when I get the chance and landscape my rather large block.
Work is writing. When a story I am working on is going well I'm on cloud nine. On bad days I go out and dig big holes...

Surely in accessing random apps like that you’d expect to see the end result of your tapping. So, will the gear be hardwired into the brain by a little access point hidden under the hairline or perhaps to a pair of spectacles so you have instant access to the information. If the latter I can imagine now the number of people walking into oncoming traffic when preoccupied or at the very least causing snarl ups on the pavement with all the others doing the same thing.
In order to avoid chaos I think I could live without technology that doesn’t give me a break from the computer at all.

I read this … and got lost in the speak… “The second thing is it will then force the designer to weigh the opportunity to deliver useful value and emotional durability in the clothing against the technical challenges of this deployment and this requisite agility.”
I’m not sure I want to live in a world where the sum of its parts are designed by these people…
